Germany has classified Morocco and a large part of the South of France as a “high-risk area”, from this Sunday, August 8, due to the increase in coronavirus infection figures.
As of this Sunday, the following French regions and territories: Occitanie, the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region, Corsica, and – Outre-Mer – Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy, and countries such as Morocco, Algeria, Thailand, and Mexico are classified “areas at high risk of contamination” with Covid-19 by Germany.
As a result, the German government is imposing a five-day quarantine on travelers arriving on its territory from these regions and countries who have not been vaccinated or who are not cured of the coronavirus. The quarantine may end early after 5 days from the registration of a second negative test, carried out at least 5 days after arrival, on the Federal Ministry of Health website. Failure to comply with this quarantine obligation may be penalized, as an offense, involving fines of up to 25,000 euros.
Travelers must also report to the German health authorities of the place of stay any appearance of symptoms related to Covid-19 during the 10 days after entering German territory, even in the event of a negative test or complete vaccination.
